Got a sweet pickup that my daughter is going to LOVE ;)

I'm blessed to have a fun, good, beautiful, daughter that shares a love of the Rangers with me. Her favorite player for the past 4 years or so has been Nelson Cruz. She has met him a couple times and he's been nice to her when she met him. Ive even got a video somewhere around here where he tells her she is really cute. Ever since he did that, she has been enamored with Nellie. She's been asking me for years to get her a real Nellie bat, hat, or something. Last night, I bought her a present. A 2013 MLB Authenticated Nelson Cruz game worn jersey. She doesnt know yet and I might save it for her birthday in December or I might just give it to her next time we go to a game, just depends whrn I get the urge, I should have it in my possession by the end of the week. She is probably gonna want to sleep in this thing, LOL. In casr you can't tell, her old Dad is a little bit excited to get this for her. Im sure in a couple years this jersey will have kool aid stains and have its MLB authentication sticker lost in the wash, but thats OK by me. I'd rather have her enjoy it instead of putting it in a frame.


Here's her photo with Nellie last September. She's the little girl with eye black looking quite enamored
